Consider the graph that has as vertices all bitstrings of length $2n+1$ with exactly $n$ or $n+1$ entries equal to 1, and an edge between any two bitstrings that differ in exactly one bit. The well-known middle levels conjecture asserts…

Dirac proved that each $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph with minimum degree $k$ contains a cycle of length at least $\min\{2k, n\}$. We obtain analogous results for Berge cycles in hypergraphs. Recently, the authors proved an exact lower…

For a given graph $G$ of minimum degree at least $k$, let $G_p$ denote the random spanning subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge independently with probability $p=p(k)$. We prove that if $p \ge \frac{\log k + \log \log k +…

Let $\mu > 2$ and $\epsilon > 0$. We show that, if $G$ is a sufficiently large simple graph of average degree at least $\mu$, and $H$ is a random spanning subgraph of $G$ formed by including each edge independently with probability $p \ge…

Given a set $R$, a hypergraph is $R$-uniform if the size of every hyperedge belongs to $R$. A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called \textit{covering} if every vertex pair is contained in some hyperedge in $\mathcal{H}$. In this note, we show…

We prove that for fixed $r\ge k\ge 2$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices having minimum codegree at least $(1-(\binom{r-1}{k-1}+\binom{r-2}{k-2})^{-1})n+o(n)$ contains the $(r-k+1)$th power of a tight Hamilton cycle. This result…

Compared to the classical binomial random (hyper)graph model, the study of random regular hypergraphs is made more challenging due to correlations between the occurrence of different edges. We develop an edge-switching technique for…

Given two $r$-uniform hypergraphs $G$ and $H$ the Tur\'an number $\rm{ex}(G, H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $H$-free subgraph of $G$. We study the typical value of $\rm{ex}(G, H)$ when $G=G_{n,p}^{(r)}$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi…

We show that for each \ell\geq 4 every sufficiently large oriented graph G with \delta^+(G), \delta^-(G) \geq \lfloor |G|/3 \rfloor +1 contains an \ell-cycle. This is best possible for all those \ell\geq 4 which are not divisible by 3.…

Given a digraph D, the minimum semi-degree of D is the minimum of its minimum indegree and its minimum outdegree. D is k-ordered Hamiltonian if for every ordered sequence of k distinct vertices there is a directed Hamilton cycle which…

A conjecture of Verstra\"ete states that for any fixed $\ell < k$ there exists a positive constant $c$ such that any $C_{2k}$-free graph $G$ contains a $C_{2\ell}$-free subgraph with at least $c |E(G)|$ edges. For $\ell = 2$, this…

We prove that, in the Gilbert model for a random geometric graph, almost every graph becomes Hamiltonian exactly when it first becomes 2-connected. This answers a question of Penrose. We also show that in the k-nearest neighbor model, there…

In this paper we study the maximum number of hyperedges which may be in an $r$-uniform hypergraph under the restriction that no pair of vertices has more than $t$ Berge paths of length $k$ between them. When $r=t=2$, this is the even-cycle…

For a graph $G$ the random $n$-lift of $G$ is obtained by replacing each of its vertices by a set of $n$ vertices, and joining a pair of sets by a random matching whenever the corresponding vertices of $G$ are adjacent. We show that…

The $3$-uniform tight $\ell$-cycle minus one edge $C_{\ell}^{3-}$ is the $3$-graph on $\ell$ vertices consisting of $\ell-1$ consecutive triples in the cyclic order. We show that for every integer $\ell \ge 5$ satisfying $\ell\not\equiv…
